parallelized configure

[Alexander Holler]

Hello,

I've seen there was some discussion about parallelizing configure in 
2011 which seems to have come up through a talk at fosdem 2011 I've 
missed: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2011-02/msg00036.html

Because in most of todays build processes configure is one of the few 
parts which still don't take advantages through multiple processors, I 
want to ask if there has been some progress on that topic?

Regards,

Alexander Holler
